Lyrics

Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place Feeling guilty, feeling scared, hidden cameras everywhere Stop! Hold on, stay in control Girl, I want you here with me But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be 'Cause theres a red, under my bed And theres a little yellow man in my head And theres a true blue inside of me That keeps stopping me, touching ya, watching ya, loving ya Paranoia, the destroyer Paranoia, the destroyer Well I fell asleep, then I woke feelin kinda queer Lola looked at me and said, ooh you look so weird She said, man, there's really something wrong with you One day youre gonna self-destruct You're up, you're down, I cant work you out You get a good thing going then you blow yourself out Silly boy, ya self-destroyer Silly boy, ya self-destroyer Silly boy, you got so much to live for So much to aim for, so much to try for You blowing it all with paranoia You're so insecure, you self-destroyer Paranoia, the destroyer (Here it goes again) Paranoia, the destroyer Doctor, Doctor, help me please, I know you'll understand Theres a time device inside of me, Im a self-destructin man Theres a red under my bed And theres a little green man in my head And he said, you're not going crazy, you're just a bit sad 'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawing ya, tearing ya into two Silly boy, ya self-destroyer Paranoia, the destroyer Self-destroyer, wreck your health Destroy your friends, destroy yourself The time device of self-destruction Light the fuse and start eruption Paranoia, the destroyer (Here's to paranoia) Paranoia, the destroyer (Hey hey, here it goes) Paranoia, the destroyer (And it goes like this) Paranoia, the destroyer (And it goes like this)
